"There are many positives to be derived from the match. First he played a lot of new players and most importantly, he gave a lot of home based players the chance their mettle.

"Siasia's action is good for the league in Nigeria because you don't have to be a foreign based player to be able to wear the jersey of the National teams,” the statement read.
